You are welcome to stop by my art room during Parent/Teacher Conferences, Monday, October 12 from 12:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. or Tuesday, October 13 from 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

For their first visit to my art room my students are made aware of two important topics: art room safety and their responsibilities while working in the art room. My students "Art Room Responsibilities" are taken from the student handbook. They are: Pay Attention. Follow Directions. Do Your Best Work. Take Care of Materials. Get Along with Others. Respect Others' Rights and Property.

My fifth grade students are practicing drawing with shading. I am introducing this concept (which some students may find difficult, but this is only an introduction and practice. I want them to try and do their best. When they are ready for it in drawing, they will use it and develop the skill.
